What garage door track damage looks like before the door quits completely

A track usually doesn't fail all at once. A rail gets tapped by a car bumper, a bracket works loose from the framing, or years of a door running slightly out of square finally deform the metal enough that a roller starts catching instead of rolling. The door still opens and closes for a while after that, just louder and rougher, right up until the roller jumps the rail and the door stops moving altogether.
